Shouldn't nvm (node version manager) work? I rarely install node via any package manger, nvm provides some nice management features.

https://github.com/tj/n is also a good version manager for node.

--no-check-certificate for something that is intended to install software is unacceptable.

I guess nvm is better, needs some polishing, though (error prone for scripted usage, because of unpredictable exit > 0 behavior.

I tried nvm and it didn't even install correctly. I tried n just now and it works beautifully! thanks for the ref. Nice that it is from tj.
